the inadequacy song
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 11.4.98, 11.7.98, 11.24.98, & 11.27.98
i don't need your affirmations/
and you can keep your symmetry/
i don't mean to start a confrontation/
but you tend to smother me//
your dream floats beyond my horizon/
and i just have my poetry/
you put your words onto the page but/
it doesn't mean you can feel like me//
you're so fucking inanimate/
or is it trendy now to dress like stone/
you're so set against intimate/
but i tried you know/ // /
you can use your hypocrisy/
though i don't think i'd mind the truth/
but all your words are just a fallacy/
the more you talk the more i see through you//
you try so fucking hard to be cryptic/
but i understand and i don't care/
and you try so hard to nitpick me/
but i've had my share/ // /
so please keep your celebration/
someone still could accept me/
and please hold onto your summation/
until i've had my chance to speak//
and i don't need you affirmations/
and you can keep your symmetry/
your dreams float beyond my horizon/
and i just have my poetry.../
